Personal Project: Sanoran Sunrise

Unfamiliar as I am with rising early, this morning was rather unusual as I found myself waking up before the sunrise.

Sitting down to my computer, I noticed a pinkish-orange glow on my window shade. I immediately grabbed my camera without looking outside as I knew this meant that there were some spectacular colors in the sky. I ran outside and I wasn't disappointed either. I looked up to see this amazing light show.

What we do here is just a "lie" or better still a "fantasy" (a cheap imitation at best) of what nature does effortlessly. Noting we could ever do in photography will ever truly come close enough to do justice to what we see or experience in nature.

Oh, look! It's Hercules again!

Hope you like it.

Comments are always welcomed. Thank you for looking at my work.

~ Warm regards, Rocky

I knew you meant sunrise. Just like I meant to say "thanks" to Romy instead of "thaks." LOL! :) ~R

Hey Lin-sweetie, I took your advice and changed this to the Peace & Tranquility project. I don't know if it will make any difference though.

Wow! Your compliments are so appreciated. Thank you very much. Herc loves it here too. :)

"About" is colorful? What ever are you talking about? ;)

Super-duper Hugs! ~R

Thanks, Michele. I'm sure you get your share of beautiful sunrises and sunset there in Oregon. :)

LOL! It's an inside joke... VERY inside (inside my head).

Throughout my portfolio you will see this same sahuaro cactus. The reason is because he sits on my property right in the way of everything. I name things around my place and his name is... you guessed it, Hercules.

On one of my images of him, I mentioned how he is my best model (he doesn't complain about how long I take to get a shot). In fact, he's a ham and he seems to run and jump into most of my landscape images. LOL!

He has a shy brother sahuaro cactus named, Yolis (Herc's best friend), and there was a girl sahuaro cactus I named, Deianeira (Herc's wife),... and just like the Greek hero's wife, she died (shortly after naming her too). Weird.

Thanks for the kind comments, Shirley.
~ Warm regards, Rocky

Yep, that's a pretty great sky. Used to seeing them after a long night, but I guess you can get there too by getting up, what did you call it?, early.

OMG Rocky, this is so beautiful, what an amazing light and such gorgeous colors in the sky...seeing this kind of sunset would just paralyze me I think, wow, very peaceful!! I might be tempted to put it in that project, then again, not sure, don't listen to me...No wonder Hercules lives there...beautifully done...big hugs, Lin

PS..your about is colorful too...what cha doin there?

Hi Rocky,

I kept being drawn to this image ...I think it's a beautiful imitation of your AZ. skies.... Altho it's not the real deal, it is a pleasure to view and happy you are sharing it with us who didn't get such a beautiful sky this morning ! ha!!!

Best wishes,
Michele~
